When she was seven, during the Lantern Festival, Su Tang, the young daughter of the prime minister, saved a little boy from an assassin's blade.
She didn't know he was Xiao Heng, the crown prince of the day.
Nor did she know that saving him would begin an eleven-year plot to make her his empress.
The new emperor's first secret decree: Once the Su girl comes of age, she is to take her place as empress.
The entire court was in an uproar. Everyone knew the youngest daughter of the Su family was only thirteen. The emperor was really going to wait five years for her?
Only Xiao Heng knew that he had been waiting for much longer than five years.
From the night she clutched his sleeve with her little hand and told him, “Don't be afraid,” he had been waiting.
Waiting for his little girl to grow up, waiting for his empress to come home.
“Why did Your Majesty choose me?” Su Tang couldn't help asking on their wedding night.
Xiao Heng traced her brows and eyes. “I didn't choose you. I waited for you. I've waited eleven years for this day.”
Everyone said she had become empress because she had once saved his life.
Only he knew that the imperial favor and the honor of the phoenix throne had been cultivated for her, bit by bit.
Very beautiful, love it 🥰 🥰
